4/5
HardcoreGamer Oct 20, 2015
Guitar Hero Live is clearly the product of music lovers. Instead of exuding cheesiness like past titles in the franchise, Live is wholly contemporary. From the font, to the controller, to the song selection, down to the gameplay itself, Guitar Hero Live feels fresh, alive and something that’s not embarrassing to have out at a party full of even the snobbiest hipsters. The song selection is impressive,...
7,5/10
Game Informer Oct 20, 2015
Guitar Hero Live is innovative and surprising, with a huge library of potential songs, but the game is constrained by a confusing system of in-game microtransactions.
